Hullop: I would like to thank my beta for beta-ing all of my stories!
Sasuke loved his older brother and he adored him, Sasuke believed that whatever his older brother did was the right thing to do and that he was prefect and did nothing bad or wrong.
Unfortunately for poor little Sasuke, his older brother had less than innocent thoughts for his little brother.
True Itachi knew that what he thought and felt for his little brother was wrong; he could not help but feel the way he did.
Itachi had tried, he really did try to be subtly with his advances on his little brother, but Sasuke was so oblivious that it frustrated Itachi.
So, one day when Sasuke, Itachi scooped up his adorable eight year old brother and told his mother they were going to train.
Itachi was thirteen, he did not yet have the mangenkyou sharingan, but he would obtain it soon.
Itachi did train his little brother in what Sasuke thought they were going to train in, that was until Itachi halted his little brother and took Sasuke's first kiss.
Of course Itachi had never been kissed on the lips before either, Sasuke looked up at his older brother in shock and tried to say something, but Itachi stopped him by putting his hand over Sasuke's mouth.
Luck was on Sasuke's side however from what Itachi was about to do next in the form of their older cousin Shisui who had accidentally seen what Itachi just did.
Now Shisui noted the shock and the distress on his youngest cousin's features and decided to confront Itachi then in there about the shocking behavior he had just witnessed.
Itachi, angered that Shisui was arguing with him and tried to take away Sasuke from him, killed Shisui right in front of Sasuke's eyes.
Itachi quickly cleaned up the mess and made it look like it had been a suicide all the while Sasuke just stood where he was like a statue.
Itachi turned towards his little brother who flinched as he approached, Itachi held on to him fast and pinned him to the ground.
Sasuke whimpered and closed his eyes, waiting for his older brother to kill him; he felt Itachi's breath close to his right ear.
"Relax Sasuke," said Itachi in his soothing gently voice.
Sasuke could not help it, started to relax and his older brother said, "Look into my eyes little brother please."
Sasuke knew it was not a request so he did as he was told and stared up into his older brother's normally obsidian orbs.
They were now a blood red ruby color, with onyx tomoe and dotted circle, Itachi smiled at him, but his smile did little to reassure Sasuke.
"Now, listen carefully and listen well," stated Itachi, he paused to make sure Sasuke was listening.
Sasuke gave him a quick nod and Itachi continued on speaking, "If I find out or suspect that you are going to or have told anyone the truth about what happened today, any of it then you will seriously regret it. There will be two reasons why, I will punish you and the other reason is I will do to them what I did to Shisui. Now, nod if you understood all of what I said."
Sasuker nodded rapidly until the world seemed to spin a little, for some reason it felt like he could not speak, like there was a blockage that stopped him.
"Good boy," said Itachi, he seemed to blink and realized he was in the mounted position on Sasuke, oh, how he wanted to be in this position with Sasuke without any clothing, but alas he could not do that right now.
What Itachi did do was kiss his little brother and forced Sasuke's mouth open and explored Sasuke's mouth with his tongue.
"Now, remember your promise or else, and if anyone asks where I was say we were at the training grounds training," Said Itachi, "after all we were training."
Itachi knew that Sasuke did not like lying to any one and so making Sasuke say half-truths or whole truth, but having something omitted made Sasuke feel less like he was lying.
Sasuke nodded, and they watched the entire thing unfold in a drama that would last for a couple of weeks or more.
Several weeks later Itachi had been confronted by, three of his distant cousins, when Sasuke had said enough already.
He had meant for his older brother to tell the truth, Sasuke had not dared to tell anyone what happened that day except that he had been training with his older brother the entire time with what happened to Shisui.
Several days later, Sasuke's nightmares had gotten worse, neither of his parents knew what they were about, but Itachi knew.
Itachi seemed to know everything, or at least that is what Sasuke thought, his sense of right and wrong told Sasuke to tell his parents about what had actually happened that day several month ago, but his brother was always within hearing distance of him and any one Sasuke might be tempted to tell.
Itachi had a mission that he had to go on, Sasuke also had school, but the mission his older brother was on would last for at least an hour or so more than when school ended.
"Mother," said Sasuke, it had always been easier for Sasuke to talk to his mother than it was to talk to his father.
Mikoto noted the way Sasuke was moving, it was if Sasuke wanted to tell her something, but he was too afraid to tell her, or he did not quite know how to tell her.
"Is something wrong," asked Mikoto gently, "is there something you want to tell me Sasu-chan?"
Sasuke looked up into her eyes in shock and she saw how tired he was and suddenly she had an epiphany.
"Is what you are about to tell me why you have been having nightmares," asked Mikoto gently.
Sasuke gulped and nodded his head in a quick, jerky gesture of the affirmative.
"Sasuke, does this have to do with what happened with Shisui," asked Mikoto.
Sasuke did another one of those strange jerky nods, he did not look at her, he looked more agitated and upset.
"Did you see what happened with Shisui," asked Mikoto, another nod came from Sasuke, "did he hurt himself so badly that he died."
Sasuke shook his head a slow no and she asked another question that was hard for her to get out, "did you see someone kill your older cousin Shisue."
Sasuke was shaking very badly; Mikoto had noticed that during this entire time, Sasuke eyes had grown larger and larger.
He was twitching even worse now and looked terribly frightened, as if the killer was going to go after him if he told her the truth.
"Did the person who killed Shisui see you," asked Mikoto.
Sasuke nodded another yes, and that made Mikoto's heart clench in shock, her poor baby son had been forced to watch as his cousin was murdered in front of his eyes and knew that the killer knew he was there.
"Sasuke, did Itachi also see who killed Shisui," asked Mikoto.
Sasuke seemed to pause and think for a moment and slowly shook his head no.
"Does Itachi also know who killed Shisui," asked Mikoto.
Sasuke nodded again, he seemed like he was about to say something when Fugaku opened the door to where they were.
Sasuke flinched and jumped like a startled cat wildly looking around for a place to run and hide, Fugaku frowned as he saw the strange antics of his younger son.
Sasuke calmed down when he found out who it was; it was only his father, the clan leader of his clan.
"Mikoto-chan, my son," started Fugaku looking over at Sasuke confused.
"Sasuke knows how Shisui had died, it was not an accident or suicide," said Mikoto softly, "and he knows who did it. Also Itachi knows as well."
Fugaku lurched back in shock and he stared down at Sasuke, and asked in a firm voice, "who ki-"
He was unable to finish that question because Itachi entered the room and said, "the council of elders with to speak with you mother, father."
"Thanks Itachi," said their parents.
Both of them wondered why Itachi had not told anyone they understood why Sasuke would not tell, he was a small child and that was a very mentally scaring event.
That was probably why he had lost his temper when he was accused of murdering his older cousin, but something seemed off to Mikoto.
She wondered, 'how would Itachi know who killed Shisui if he had not seen the murderer… unless, but not he would not do such a thing! They were friend and Itachi viewed Shisui like an older brother, perhaps he was able to get Sasuke to tell him who did it. After all, Sasuke does seem to tell Itachi everything, but why would Itachi not tell anyone?'
Little did she know that what Sasuke was about to tell her, after Fugaku had ordered him to tell was that the killer was Itachi, after all no one can watch themselves kill someone.
Itachi's eyes turned harder than diamonds when he turned to face his little brother, "otouto, you were about to tell them about what happened during that day were you not."
It was not a question, it was a statement of fact that Sasuke knew he had to answer truthfully or his punishment would be worse.
Sasuke whimpered up at his older brother, unable to say anything in defense for himself as he just looked up at him wide-eyed.
Itachi smirked cruelly down at his little brother and said, "yes you now remember that I said that you would be punished for telling someone and you do know that they will tell the rest of the clan what they have found out through you."
Sasuke's heart seems to drop and his heart rate increased as his older brother said, "you have just doomed the rest of the clan to death."
Little did Sasuke know that Itachi had been ordered to kill the clan because of the plan of the coup-de-etat against the village hidden in leaves.
He had convinced them of Sasuke's innocence in of the plot, Itachi would be able to keep his little brother, provided he was able to kill his entire clan in one night.
Itachi had poisoned all the food and drink that everyone was going to eat except for his and his little brother's food.
He had thought about putting sleeping pills in Sasuke's food, but since Sasuke's near betrayal he decided he was not going to do that.
The poison was going to kill the oldest of the clan and severely weaken all of the other clan members.
The poison would kill all of them in a couple of days, but the hokage and council were impatient, so he would have to kill every single one that had not died from the poison in several hours from now.
But of course, he was not going to tell Sasuke that, after all the psychological torment was only part of his punishment for almost telling.
Another part of his punishment would be watching his parents die right in front of his eye, which was going to be the last part of his punishment.
The part that he was going to enact now was going to be painful, Itachi did not want to hurt his little brother, but Itachi was being forced to by Sasuke because he broke his promise.
However since Sasuke did not actually tell them who did it and just said that he knew who did it meant that he would not get severely punished, he would just get a mild punishment.
Itachi got out a kunai and three pieces of rope, Sasuke watched him eyes wide and with a horrified curiosity he watched his older brother draw near him.
"Now I am not a cruel person and I know how much you betrayed me by, so keep in mind this is not as bad as it would have been if you had actually told them what truly had happened that day," said Itachi as he tied his little brothers arms to a post of the couch.
Itachi also tied Sasuke's legs together; he used the kunai to cut off all of Sasuke's clothing and flipped Sasuke's naked form over.
Sasuke's smooth soft ivory back was facing Itachi, he brushed a hand across Sasuke's back and marveled at how soft and smooth it was.
Itachi's hand drifted slowly southwards until he was touching Sasuke's soft backside, he lifted that hand and smacked Sasuke's buttocks hard.
Sasuke gasped and Itachi's other hand, which held the other piece of rope came down at mid-speed and intensity and a sharp thwack sound was heard.
Sasuke screamed, it felt as his back was on fire, Itachi waited five second and hits Sasuke's back nine more times.
By then Sasuke's back was an angry red color and Sasuke was crying and blubbering, his voice box could not stand him screaming that much and he had nearly lost his voice because of his pain filled screams.
"Otouto," said Itachi in that same strangely gentle tone, "it pained me to hurt you, but you must understand that you cannot do something like that ever again or the punishment will be even far worse."
Sasuke nodded, tears were still coursing down his face in rivers, Itachi gently stoked Sasuke's hurt back and he said, "if you had betrayed me fully I would have used a whip and also poured some iodine and salt onto the wounds before healing them, but since you did not, I shall heal your aching back now."
Itachi healed Sasuke's back, it only took a little bit of his chakra, after all the poison would destroy a lot of their chakra because their chakra systems will try to combat the poison.
"Now, it is time for you to go to the academy," said Itachi cheerfully, Sasuke blinked in shock, he had forgotten all about school in the highly emotional traumatic experience, "after all, they are having an evening training session that is compulsory for all students to attend."
"Th-thank you for reminding me Itachi nii-sama," said Sasuke quietly.
Sasuke grabbed his backpack and left for the academy at his normal speed, while internally he was reeling from all that had happened.
Sasuke felt that he should tell someone, but he instantly stopped that line of thinking and shook his head.
It would not due to have someone else die because of his selfishness and wimpy-ness, after all if he had only get his mouth shut then the clan would not be killed because of him.
Sasuke swore to himself that he would make sure that no one else got hurt because he did not do what his older brother wanted, that including himself.
Hullop: that is all for now…
